I choose to design a detective from Louisiana who works specifically with the occult, particularly Voodoo (or rather the stuff people get up to when practicing Voodoo maliciously, rude). She’s also a practitioner herself, as her grandmother and great-grandmother were before her. She carries around gris gris on her belt to keep her protected, along with the bristles of a pig to prevent any spells being cast on her as she goes about her investigations.

She’s named after St. Anthony, who’s another depiction of Papa Legba, the spirit gatekeeper between the worlds of the living and dead in Voodoo, and also the Batiste family from Eve’s Bayou. That movie was the other half of the reason I wanted to draw something involving Louisiana voodoo culture.

I need for this to be a TV show and a comic and a book series and a video game and all the other things.

Dwarven Women concepts by Daniel Falconer (DF), William Furneaux (WF), Scott Spencer (SS), and Matthew Rodgers (MR) of WETA Workshop. Most of the women seen above are part of the WETA team or members of the artist’s family.

And by that I mean that I can’t bring myself to admit how much time I’ve spent on this one but time flies when Klaine.

So tell me what you think!

Soooooo I know I’ve just started out with this blog but I would LOVE some prompts from you guys! This is not a Klaine-only fanart site, my own OTP or shipping does not interfere with your requests, so feel free to prompt me anything Glee if you like my animations and we’ll see what we can make out of it! :)

Until then, stay awesome and don’t stop believing. ;)

(Original reference gif for this one found on the internet, if anyone knows it, I’ll put it here for credit.)

Kate Connor used to be a demon hunter: Now she’s a stay-at-home mom, a “glorified chauffeur for pep squad practice and Gymboree play dates.” But when a demonic assassin shows up at her suburban home minutes before an important dinner party, the retired Hunter is forced back into action to save her town — and her freshly baked mini-quiches — from the invading fiend and his army of the undead.Kate’s husband and her two kids don’t know anything about her demon-killing past — and she wants to keep it that way.

I don’t think this book series got a lot of press, and I really enjoyed it - it’s a light, fun read, and evokes the ridiculous feeling of early Buffy episodes. Later in the series, there’s some dealing with more of the emotional toll of being a demon hunter and family issues, which was also cool to read.

I also got a kick out of the pop culture references. I mean, I know they date things, but this is the first book I ever read (the only book, actually, come to think of it) that directly referenced Kim Possible. How cool is that?

Anyway. Book rec. Because I saw something on my dash complaining about how all the heroes are teenagers. <3

Only the FIRST FIVE tags you use on a NEW POST show up in the tracked tags

Only the FIRST TWENTY tags on any post on your blog function (i.e click tag #21 and it will say page not found)

When you’re in your messages, you can click the top right corner of an ask & it will take you to a permalink page. Go to ‘edit’ (top right of page) and reply using the post edit screen (and add tags without an extension)

Always Reblog, Never Repost

Tumblr Etiquette: don’t delete the OPs caption, consider it part of the work as a whole.

Don’t tag your hate. If you don’t like a character or show or whatever, don’t tag your new post with their name/title/whatever in the first five tags. It shows up in the tracked tags. People that track a tag do so normally cause they love a thing. Don’t ruin a thing. No one likes a ruiner.

Tumblr default reblogs long text posts as links and its a pain in the ass. Who ever wants them as a link. No one, ever. When you’re reblogging a text post, go to the Aa drop down menu in the top right & select ‘reblog as text’.

When you add a comment to a post, the OP sees it. Just so you know. There’s a whole etiquette on commenting vs tags but it’s your blog do what the fuck you want

- you can view all the posts made in a particular day on someone’s blog by typing the url http://ift.tt/1m3AnsK, the order is year, month, then day

- if somebody’s blog is blanked or their theme is dysfunctional and you hate it you can view the blog without a theme by adding /mobile to the url. use this power responsibly and don’t creep on people who don’t want to be creeped on, also if someone has an ip tracker and you don’t want to show up on their ip tracker view their blog under /mobile

- search on tumblr blogs is dysfunctional so use http://ift.tt/TtyNHg urls instead to find all posts with a particular tag

- reblogged copies of posts are never tracked in tumblr tags (tags on tumblr, not an individual blog) so if you’re tagging a reblog for it to be tracked don’t bother because you’re wasting your time

- 99.9% of the time you can’t you can’t get somebody’s street address from their IP address alone, stop thinking you can because you’re wrong and you don’t understand how IP addresses work.

- there’s a rumor going around that you can find the identity of an anon by blocking the anon and looking at your ignore list, this is wrong, blocking anons doesn’t add anybody to your ignore list.

- blocking the anon will ONLY prevent them from sending any more anons, they are not blocked off anon

- blocked people can’t see your posts on their dash if they’re following you, you will never see their posts in tags (though they can see your posts in tags), and you will never receive any asks they send, notifications from them will also be hidden

- get xkit, tumblr savior, tumblr hate and #wrap if you can, they will make your tumblr experience much more enjoyable

- if you try to respond to somebody who is not the op by reblogging the post from someone else rather than reblogging the person directly, the person will never know you made a response and will never see it!

- if you tag posts with trigger warnings, write “[trigger] tw” rather than “tw: [trigger]” so it’s easier for people to block with tumblr savior

- if you want to reblog a really graphic image, please click “reblog as link” and put a description in the link

- click the gear icon when making a post and you can add a source to your post, please do this for any content you post that you found on the internet and is not your own!

- pls be a little skeptical and double check to make sure you’re not reblogging and spreading false information, this is hard and we all let things slip but try and do your best!

“get xkit, tumblr savior, tumblr hate and #wrap if you can, they will make your tumblr experience much more enjoyable”

XKit actually has black/white list functions like savior, and a block posts option like tumblr hate, and a fix for the tags so they wrap, if you only want to manage one extension. (I still have tumblr savior as well, because xkit’s version is a little awkward with a really long list, but it is a pretty comprehensive extension.)

No guys, I need to stop and talk about something in this movie and how fucking revolutionary it was; something that I haven’t seen in a movie before or since.

This is a movie about a kid who leaves her birth family.

Not a kid who find that they have a secret lineage or something that allows them to find their ‘true family’ - this is a movie about a kid whose true birth family is made up of bad people. So she gets out. And that is played as the right thing to do. She isn’t punished for it or made to feel bad about ‘abandoning her family’. There isn’t an underlying ‘but they’re your family and you have to love them’ or ‘they’re your family and they love you even if they don’t show it well or do hurtful things’ message of the kind that I see OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER in media. Matilda gets out and livess happily ever after because of it.

We need a million more movies like this to counter the metric shit ton of movies that directly counter this message.

Roald Dahl, teaching us that sometimes bad people exist in your life and it’s ok to find good people to replace them :3

@daphsstory reblogged your post “fistfulofweasley: I think the thing people don’t realize with that bullshit “well not all guys are dangerous, you…”

#lol feminism#lol social justice#lol tumblr#fuck you all#so your dads could be the cyanide too right#and your brothers and uncles and nephews#DON’T GET ME STARTED#WITH YOUR ”EQUALITY”#thank those who agree with ^^^don’t rule the world#daf is raging

um so yeah, your dads and your brothers and uncles and nephews could be the metaphorical cyanide too. that’s. part of the point?

rapists and abusers don’t just spontaneously generate. they have family and friends. they look from the outside just like non-rapists and non-abusers.

so I was very excited about this new xkit extension which lets you see the tags people used when reblogging your posts right from the activity page, but I can already see this may just end in angry tears.

In the BDSM community it may be hard to tell where the line between kinky consensual play and abuse is crossed. Let this be a rule of thumb: trust your intuition. If you feel something is wrong, IT PROBABLY IS. If you feel you are being mistreated, SAY SOMETHING.

i have experienced every single one of these listed under “Abuser” All by the same person a few years back. It was hell and will tear one down completely. It took me a long time to heal and get past it. i was extremely close to giving up on exploring D/s altogether and had to take a long break. PLEASE if you experience any of these things, speak up, find someone to talk to. The Abuser will try to make you feel guilty or that you are disrespecting them and the relationship if you seek advice or help. That is all part of their abusive game as well. Discretion and privacy in a relationship is one thing. But a true and good Dom/Domme will not forbid you to reach out to others in the community or otherwise.

Please be safe.

If these things are happening to you then please come to me for help, or support. I promise I’ll help you in anyway I can.
